I wish from the Puppi Linux Santa Claus in the future that Puppi recognizes real old scrapware (in the 1rst. world) and in that case (and only in that case) doesn¨t load all into ram, only what is needed for the beginning and then on demand what is called is loaded and unloaded from ram if not needed any more. It could have a warnings like "You are going out of space" or "You are going out of ram" "Please close any programm before opening a new one".
What today are old computer (P3, 500Mb ram) in five years are scrapware in the 1rst. world but not everywhere. There are a lot of P1 computer with 32 MB ram still working with win98 (no more supported) in which a nearly up to date Puppi Linux doesn t fit. In the school of my daughter in South America are 10 of them. I couldn t load nothing except Damn Small Linux what really is not an option for kids. If Puppi could recognize such hardware and switch to work on-demand......
Surely those P1-Scrap are condemned to have W98 to the end but todays old computer could live a bit more, do their job with up to date sw. Maybe for ecological reasons too, a step backwards from extintion, less junk in the toxic mountain.
I´m writing this whith a Puppilinx 4.3.1, I tried 4.3.2 too (nearly the same). Both are stable for me and I like it minimalistic as it is with no gadget.. Woof is a great idea. Congratulations.
Best Regards.

I suggest on the next release of puppy that it must have ability to read the msdos disk-label on storage devices (if the storage device has a disklabel on it) and show up on screen (just like on KDE or Gnome) beside the "sdxN" to avoid confusion when plugging or detecting more than one storage devices and the drives can easily identify and distinct. The concept is just like this:

when you plug or detect storage devices. Instead of "sdxN" appear on desktop, it should be "(sdxN)My Drive" which is the same as "(E:)My Drive" on Ms Windows.

Hello guys-
I was wondering if you could include Scorched3d (turn based artillery game-Online & offline play) in a upcoming version of Puppy. We have a new version coming out shortly *V43*. Contact "Gavin Camp" for particulars concerning this game (Is free for all to d/l & play). Webpage located here: http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/index.php *Game typical download sizes= 50-70mb. (a link probably would suffice as well)*

Subject description: Could anyone help with a Puplet for this game

Could anyone help me make a puplet for this game (Scorched3d)? New/better version coming out shortly... Devs are working final bugs out atm. This would be a great game for Puppy users. Can play online/offline...slow or fast computers & slow/fast internet is ok (I played since 2006 on dial up)=LOL
Any help from this community would be greatly appreciated

I know that I am stuck on this, but maybe an official Gnome package. As well as official packages of other WM's. I know there is .sfs of Gnome,KDE,Enlightenment, as well as others, but official releases would be nice.

For ext2, ext3, and squashfs filesystem images, if they are named with the right extension (.2fs, .3fs, .sfs) you can simply click them and Puppy will mount them for you. I don't know if Puppy can already handle filesystem images that don't have an extension. If it doesn't, it could be made to do so.

Other filesystem types still need to be done by hand unless Puppy has added support for more since the last time I checked (maybe it has ext4 and .4fs support now, I don't know).

Sometime in the next couple weeks I'm going to dig out the script that does all this and give it any upgrades I think would be nice. I've been using my own distro for several months now (building it as I go) and that's one of the features from Puppy that I miss.

For that matter, I believe current Puppies can't handle mounting encrypted save-files when clicked on. I already patched the script once last year to add support for that, and I think it might have made it into 4.2, I can't remember. Regardless, it isn't there now. I'll do that again when I work on it as well._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib
